Stuffy nose
My child 4.5 months old male baby having stuffy nose for more than 15 days. I consulted doctor for the same and he prescribed amoxycillin suspension for 5 days and maxtra syrup 2.5 ml each twice daily. We use nasivion s as well. But my child has no improvement. His body temperature is normal. Feeding and sleeping habit is normal. Baby sounds congested while breathing. I'm much worried about this. Could you please suggest something.
There is no need to worry as baby is feeding This is a simple cold with some allergic element. Give steam inhalation if possible from a little far distance. No need to take many medicines as 5hey have side effects. Unless baby is breathing fast and has fever, no need to worry
